Podcastin' episode1<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gabGkazz5yU" width="480"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yup, it's finally happening. &nbsp;After many, MANY months of kicking the Youtube Idea around I've finally decided on doing it. &nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why a podcast? &nbsp;Because right now I don't have good video equipment. &nbsp;My phone cam is too grainy and I'm working on getting over being camera shy.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, don't get the idea that this is going to be a gaming channel. &nbsp;No no, I love to talk about gaming, but this channel will be run like my blog, just me talking, and teaching things that help serve the people who want to support me, or just be entertained.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A goal of mine, now that I have a firm grasp of Youtube is to 'try' to get a video out daily. &nbsp;Thanks to the new algorithm, Youtube wants to see constant activity to get you out to other people. &nbsp;This in turn will help my channel grow, social media, and all the side hustles I've worked so hard on that are barely moving.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you like what you see, feel free to leave a subscribe or a comment and stay tuned to hear more of my stuffy, nasally, annoying&nbsp;voice!</span>Glenn

text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Indeed, I was approved a few days ago and already starting uploading prints. &nbsp;I'm going to leave TeeNation behind and focus my efforts on the merch I have on Amazon.com.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't forget about my first book "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Creeper-High-Social-Misadventures-Gallimore/dp/1521083517/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1497138924&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=Creeper+High">Creeper High</a>", which is free for Kindle Unlimited users.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know, some folks are rather uneasy about my selling out, but this is entrepreneurship&nbsp;101. &nbsp;I'm trying to grow my internet business. &nbsp;I've been going forward with some small projects here and there, needing that supplemental&nbsp;income.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In other news, FFXIV Stormblood comes out next Friday. &nbsp;Man, oh man I can't wait though It's going to really hinder up my packing/cleaning/job hunting/hustling if I let it.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've dusted off my Linkedin and Indeed and sending out resumes to just about any place in the Western part of the US. &nbsp;Perhaps I'm limiting myself and should go further east past Texas. &nbsp;I'm trying to find Web Developement work, break away from my stressful dead end job. &nbsp;My boss was nice enough to try to get me in to his brother's company out in Vegas, not sure if that will pan out.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do have a job interview at the local community college in over a week, they have an opening for catalog publishing, it might have something my skills can help with otherwise they may not of considered me for an interview and the job pays more than what I make now. &nbsp;This may be my plan B if I can't find web development work, but on the flip side I could stay in Kingman for a bit longer if this job sustains me, I'll have to live very modestly so I can pay off some bills and save money.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plan C is that I'd be taking a HUGE risk of leaving town, possibly the state for cities that have work where my skillset will be of some use. &nbsp;Lots of folks online are talking me out of it, and I can't blame them. &nbsp;I'm going with very little to my name and 3k at least. &nbsp;Honestly considered living out of my car until I find any form of work to sustain me until I get the dev job.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The HR game sucks though, so many bloated requirements for entry level positions and the competition has gotten rough thanks to all these bootcamps but my BA and my experience in game development gives me a bit of an edge, that and I'm using Github as a resume of sorts. &nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do have a plan for all this internet business stuff, is that my next big goal is to travel cross country. &nbsp;With passive income that would keep me afloat I'd by a large van or even an RV and just travel and take a long overdue vacation from the rat race.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Until then, I have to keep up the hustle.</span>Glenn

Store Grand Opening!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greetings!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm taking another plunge, and opened up an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Glendemonium?ref=search_shop_redirect">Etsy store</a>!&nbsp; It's mainly just digital prints, but it seems to be the most popular online store next to Amazon for merchandise. &nbsp;So far twelve prints are available for purchase, some you may have seen on my TeePublic store.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking of which, I may need to find another Tshirt store. &nbsp;Prices on my prints are actually lower than I expected, the store keeps most of the profit. &nbsp;It's like a 15% - 85% split, not sure if I want to keep going with that, so I'll be searching other avenues.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tomorrow, I'll work on setting up a clip art and photo store and start publishing stock art. &nbsp;I have a few good quality photos I could use. &nbsp;Those who've done it for a good year have already seen some good results. &nbsp;Even if it's a few hundred dollars, it's better than none.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>======================================================================<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In some personal news, I may have found a place and I'll be starting the moving process in the first week of June. &nbsp;My landlord doesn't know it, but she's anticipating everyone leaving after her rent hike. I'm hoping I won't have to hear the pitter patter of energized children in the apartments&nbsp;next to me, but that's apartment life for you.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">====================================================================</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm hoping once my side hustles start making me some dough, I can ease my life stress by leaving my current job and take a small paycut working somewhere else. &nbsp;It would be real nice to not NEED the job, but that's not being realistic, especially when you need health and dental insurance... especially&nbsp;in this rip-off of a country.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />Glenn Gallimorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05836147118403145142noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388828136059890929.post-40595465433775675142017-05-23T18:23:00.000-07:002017-05-23T18:23:09.991-07:00Staying confident in the midst of hardship<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So last post was pretty depressing, but honestly I have no one to blame but myself in retrospective, just felt like venting.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Regaining confidence is tough, but good thing the internet is ever so expansive if you know how to sift through the BS and the salesmen.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found a couple channels that really helped me through some rough spots this past month.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Kemetprince1">Infinite Waters (Ralph Smart)</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChWJijdyZNt0x_dxQ1HphAA">Life After Art School</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first one I'd HIGHLY recommend to anyone with depression, anxiety, or feeling lost. &nbsp;Yes, he's a vegan, no, you never get to see the cat down the road, but he'll eventually get you to start saying "FEELS SO GOOD TO BE ALIVE, BABY!" &nbsp;He's a psychologist, went to school and worked as a counselor, still does and this is the kind of advice you see people pay hundreds of dollars for. &nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For some of you, this may be "well duh" but keep in mind many of us never had that "proper" upbringing. &nbsp;So many life lessons that we should all know before graduating high school. &nbsp;There are lots of takers in life, and I've allowed so many takers to take advantage of me only because I used to have the knack to give people the benefit of the doubt. &nbsp;Over time the takers took their toll, and eventually you start to not trust anyone. &nbsp;Which is a bad situation because it makes future relationships very tough. &nbsp;People wonder why many of us become introverts, withdraw from society? &nbsp;Well this is a very good reason why.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No, it's not healthy, sustainable, but not healthy. &nbsp;However being a introvert doesn't mean you can be a push over, no, you have to start pushing back. &nbsp;Keep pushing back. &nbsp;Life is a never ending game of tug-o-war. &nbsp;Sometimes you yank hard enough and win, other times life yanks you hard enough that you fall in the mud. &nbsp;Speaking as a long time introvert, confrontation sucks. &nbsp;You don't want to be that guy who causes a scene, but think about it, when you stand up for yourself your antagonizes&nbsp;will want to cause a scene and shift the blame on you and make you feel like the bad guy. &nbsp;Be it the person who always wants to borrow money and never pay it back, or the one who steals from you and acts like it's no big deal, or cheats on you. &nbsp;They expect you to not stand up for yourself because they're USED to it. &nbsp;When you start speaking up, the shouting reaction is merely a defense mechanism in place because they can't handle this new development. &nbsp;Eventually they'll get the hint. &nbsp;They might break some of your things or talk smack about you, but they'll get it. &nbsp;They might even want out of your life at some point. &nbsp;Them's the breaks, takers can't have it all.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the end though, the decision to allow takers to influence your world falls solely on you. &nbsp;This is a hard lesson for anyone, myself included. &nbsp;Once the damage is done you'll have to lick your wounds and start over, as long as you start the process of standing up for yourself, feeling worthy of yourself, and learning to say "no" to anyone and anything that wants you to do something against your best interests (though certain forms of employment can be trickier, might I suggest indeed.com, monster.com, or the local classifieds?)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lesson I take from all my mishaps in life is that I was too nice for my own good. &nbsp;This is to takers like blood to a vampire. &nbsp;When people don't get their way with me they tend to get pissed and I'd back down, lately over the last few years though I've learned to reverse the situation and stand my ground. &nbsp;I've had many shake ups at work due to this but once I explained my case I usually end up on top, and over time my antagonizer&nbsp;no longer worked there. &nbsp;People are going to hate you for having a spine, but let them hate. &nbsp;They'll get over it... or not, who cares.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for the second channel...</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow... every former student who got screwed by art schools, like the Art Institute need to check his channel out. &nbsp;Perhaps screwed is to severe, more like "allowed to be misled by" since taking responsibility for being duped is the first step to ease anxiety.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, many aspiring students were young and naive and were told sweet, sweet candied lies about job placement and top-of-the-line education, maybe we believed too much in ourselves that we'd be making the next (insert art product here) and live off the royalty, or work for another company. &nbsp;The reality is, art jobs just aren't plentiful unless you get <u><b>creative.</b></u> &nbsp;See what I did there? &nbsp;Puns all day, but yes, the days of the steady graphic designer and high paid animator are behind us. &nbsp;I've found a couple avenues worth looking into aside from print design, and that's clip art and stock photography. &nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The deal is you upload it to several sites and you get royalties for it. &nbsp;Many MANY businesses look for these things, like advertisers and marketers, heck even game developers looking for that perfect texture image. &nbsp;I'm going to be real, but I remember not hearing much about HOW to do this and it's gaining steam as of late. &nbsp;True story, we have a UPS guy, a senior one who's making 90k litrally <b>quit, </b>well he's on the papers for calling but he's made so much money on the internet and used his salary on other investments that he has no need for his job unless his passive incomes tank. &nbsp;From what his co-workers told me, he's become obsessed with photography&nbsp;that it became his second career. &nbsp;You know how you see job related blogs with various people doing those tasks? &nbsp;Many of them are stock photos, most of them aren't models, just regular joes. &nbsp;No one is going to take you seriously if you had a model in a lab coat pretending to be a chemist. &nbsp;Or maybe you take pictures of starry skies in the middle of nowhere where you can see more of space unlike sprawling cities with too much light. &nbsp;Maybe mountains, lakes, animals, people. &nbsp;For the art side, silly little one panel cartoons you can actually&nbsp;sell. &nbsp;I used to doodle lots, before my interest in drawing was beaten to a pulp by one too many critics <a href="http://gg-works.blogspot.com/2016/05/">see my year old post about it.</a></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once again, my fault for caving in to my bitter of critics, professional or no. &nbsp;Now, the drawing landscape has changed. &nbsp;People draw on tablets that you can see what you're drawing, far too expensive for my indebted arse but I'd like to work towards one... perhaps that's where affiliate marketing will come in, we'll see.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First things first, I have to finish packing up and moving out... figures when I get some ideas I'm in the middle of a huge life change. &nbsp;But I have time to blog so there's that.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See you later!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>Glenn Gallimorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05836147118403145142noreply@blogger.com0
